Picnic + Dendy + Pancakes = Awesome night :-D
Well tonight was a pretty awesome night :-DWent out with some friends from church, started off with a picnic at the botanical gardens.. it was quite an amusing picnic to say the least.. we had this ibis stalking our food and Sally-ann, after Des started feeding it haha, then the constant cheers of the millions upon millions (*cough*) of australian idol fans congregating at the opera house getting a glimpse of todays australian talent (haha).
We then caught a movie at Dendy, called 'In This World' which was quite an experience. I had never been to Dendy before, or seen the types of movies that Dendy plays.. This movie was so different to conventional movies i'm used to.. but not in a bad way.. it was quite awesome, about how people send their kids to more developed countries for a 'better life', and the struggles of the refugees placing their lives in the hands of people smugglers to get to this 'better life'. The film was fictional but the way it was shot and stuff, made it like a documentary, which was kinda strange.. coz all through the movie.. i was like.. wha.. huh?? is this real or wot?? haha i had to make sure after the movie that it was all fictional :-P But yeh, most of the time we see refugees as people we dont' want in our country, but we never actually take the time to think about what these people go through to get here, the majority of them don't even make it alive to their new life...
next, we went to the rocks for pancakes, stopping of at Weilin's 'favorite' book store.. strangest thing i've ever seen.. a book store opening to midnight.. and this isn't ur conventional book store either with all these books i had never seen.. although i'm not one for books neways so even if it had conventional stuff it would be unconventional to me.. but i was told there was some quality stuff in there :-P neways stopped by there before heading onto pancakes on the rocks cafe place, where we had wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli and this banana pancakes thing which was so nice.. this place is definitely going on the 'things to do when in the city list'... hmmm... wait a tic.. i dont' have a 'things to do when in the city list'... !!! eeek!! i'll put that on my 'things to make into a list, so that i have a things to do in the city list'... bah!... grrr.. don't have that list either.. oh well :-//
neways at pancakes 2 questions arose... 1) how is buttermilk made/what is it? and 2) how do those mist maker things work.. 2 seems a bit hard, i'll let the more techie people work that one out.. so i'll go for 1 :-D
so.. how is buttermilk made.. here's the answer.. "Churn buttermilk is the fluid remaining when the fat is removed by churning cream into butter." "Most modern buttermilk is cultured buttermilk, made from low-fat or skim milk and has less than 2 percent fat and sometimes none. It is prepared from skim or low-fat milk by fermentation with bacteria that produces lactic acid. The resulting product is thicker than traditional butter milk but is similar to it in other respects. Its correct name in many jurisdictions is 'cultured low-fat milk' or 'cultured nonfat milk.'" taken from http://webexhibits.org/butter/buttermilk.html
so thats how buttermilk is made and what it is..
a 3rd question however popped out while standing at the train station with Mel and Joyce.. Why is yawning contagious? the question which has eluded many scientists and the Einstein's of this world for as long as time could tell! i will now answer this age-long question!
The answer is fairly simple yet there are so many theories going around and nothing set in stone.... you see, when the moon and the earth come into direct view of people on earth, ie. night time, it creates a type of atmosphere which disperses various 'yawn organisms' which attach themselves to yawns and any surrounding 'human' within the vicinity of the primary yawn maker or 'Initiator of the Yawn'. Once these yawn organisms attach themselves to the people near by, they create a chemical imbalance which therefore forces these people to yawn, creating 'Distributed Yawnee's'. This process carries onto anyone standing near by, thus creating a contagious yawn..
i hope this answer fills the gap on this subject :-P
neways!!.. that was my night.. it was cool.. i had fun.. till next time.. ciao!
